The Roger Albert Clark Rally 2014...

The 2014 Roger Albert Clark Rally will have a completely new look as the event starts a new era with Sunderland as the host city.

With the rally start, finish and HQ all based in Sunderland, the route will then make extensive use of the Kielder Forest complex and will take in several stages that are completely new to the event in a total competitive route of up to 190 stage miles.

The move north to Sunderland is being supported by Sunderland City Council and managed by Sunderland Live, and has allowed rally manager Colin Heppenstall to give the rally a fresh new look.

The event will be based around the Seaburn Centre, which will provide the venue for rally HQ, scrutineering, documentation and prize-giving. The event is also set to feature a spectacular spectator stage at Herrington Country Park.

The format of the rally, which has been so successful over the last two years, will continue, starting with several stages in the darkness of Friday evening before two very full days of rallying on Saturday and Sunday. Initial route plans include over 90 stage miles on Saturday with a route heading as far west as Kershope. Sunday’s stages will be centred on the main Kielder complex before the finish in Sunderland from around 6pm.
